I think it's a lesson to be learned, sometimes the things you post in the past can come back and haunt you in the future. The internet is not safe. Other than that, I could care less about her other than the fact that she's hot.

I mean, I understand what you're saying. My problem is that she posted a picture of a swastika (Ive had to type that word like a billion times cause I can never spell it right lol) and is fired on the spot. Yes you can do this... And still be seen/heard every Monday night on RAW. Just seems like a double standard to me. And she did this on her own person social media, JBL did that in a WWE ring. Wow. Didn't know he did that. Gives me yet another reason to loathe him. I think their reason for cutting Zahra was because of the CONSTANT bigotry and hate-speak. My best guess is, in the wake of the Hogan situation, they knew it'd be unfair to keep her around knowing the backlash it'd cause. So they cut ties because they HAD to. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if they were looking for a solid reason for a long time; her going around saying things like that HAD to be noticed by the higher-ups. Back to your point - I wouldn't be upset in the slightest if they canned Bradshaw.

She'll be remembered forever, as the quiet tattooed girl sitting next to Rollins at TakeOver: Brooklyn. Anyone think they may bring her back at some point? She has a unique look and her relationship with Rollins might help her chances. Let's think about this logically: There's a man who literally built the industry. He got blackballed from pro-wrestling for saying a slur. Wiped clean. Wrestlemania was never headlined him sort of thing. Now, there's a girl who's dating a champion and who may or may not be a decent wrestler. She got fired for being a ripoff of Michelle McGee right down to the tats and imagery. If the former isn't welcomed back, why oh why oh why would they let the latter back? Just asking if anyone thinks they may bring her back in a few years time. Zahra could go on a social media rant and apologise for all the swastika stuff and knowing people in today's world, everyone will forgive her and she may get a second shot.

I'm 100% with you on this. But I think there's two ways of looking at it. 1.) - Being "politically correct" for the sake of not wanting people to b itch about something trivial (which is what we see a lot of the time, and seems to be prevalent today). Or, 2.) - People being genuinely offended by things that shouldn't be happening in 2015. IE, racism, sexism, discrimination of that kind. Things that were commonly accepted 10, or 25, or 50 years ago may be met with resistance now. It's not because people are "softer," but because we're smarter. Sadly, this isn't usually what we see people getting offended by, so the "smarter" argument may not be totally valid I mean, I understand what you're saying. My problem is that she posted a picture of a swastika (Ive had to type that word like a billion times cause I can never spell it right lol) and is fired on the spot. Yes you can do this... And still be seen/heard every Monday night on RAW. Just seems like a double standard to me. And she did this on her own person social media, JBL did that in a WWE ring. JBL did that to get heat. In his words that was something heels would do back in the day when perfoming in Germany and back in the day it worked, today not so much. He was doing something to get his character hated no different than Christoph Waltz portraying a Nazi or Mel Brooks dressing up as Hitler. Zahra on the other hand is just a person full hate towards Jewish people and Black people

My father's side of the family is Jewish, and I have a very Jewish last name. I was raised in Judaism up to age 13. Grew up in a Jewish community. I am not offended by her at all. I don't believe she's a closet neo-Nazi in any way. This happened three years ago, and she deleted the photos. Stop being offended by every little thing.

Do you honestly think that those two things are in any way the same? Doesnt matter. JBL is a pretty smart guy. He knows the history of Germany and he knew the laws about it. It was done in poor taste, whether to "get heat" or not....it was classless & tasteless...To the point that I believe Fox News and somebody else even cut ties with him AND it was done in a WWE ring. Not saying what Zahra did was right or wrong but it was done on her own personal social media. You're right though, its not the same thing. Corporate/Media world, what JBL did was much worse because he was a direct representative of WWE.

Well it's only fair. Hogan got the boot, she should too, I suppose. Whether we agree with how they've handled it or not, least they are starting to keep it consistent. Yeah but what Hogan did is perceived as worse AND he is a bigger star. Thus, its a bigger issue. Honestly, if Zahra wasnt dating Rollins, this probably would have never become a TMZ story and thus would never have become an issue for the office. Because she is, she drew a tiny bit of attention and it became a story. Evidently this picture was posted 5 years ago or so.

Does she really think, that in 2015, you can publicly say things like this & not expect any consequences? You have a job in the public eye, use your brain.

The Nazi thing may be a bit much for WWE standards. As for using the word 'mongoloid', it's a word I call people sometimes. Same with mong.

Her career died before it could even start, she has no one to blame but herself.

It doesn't matter if it was 3 years ago, 3 months ago, 3 days ago, or 3 minutes ago. At the end of the day, she is still a hateful person with an awful attitude. She deserves to be fired.
